Subject: Re: Fw: Amendments to land transport regulations 
Tena korua Chris and Dave 
Hugh has forwarded your emails to me. 
Collections encourages the collection of the sex of the offender because this assists 
with subsequent enforcement action.  By this stage, all we have are the details 
provided by the issuer and the more info we have, the more likely we are to be able to 
convince the person that this really is their fine.  Gender is very useful for asexual and 
unusual names. 
In terms of the Land Transport (Infringement and Reminder Notice) Amendment 
Regulations, I've suggested to Judy that we delay amending Schedule 5 (Reminder 
Notice for all but Toll Road Offences) to expand the info required to be provided when 
liability is transferred for Stationary Vehicle Offences by the registered person in line 
with new s133A until the Courts and Criminal Matters Bill passes and the same 
requirements will also apply to Moving Vehicle Offences.  We were expecting the 
Courts and Criminal Matters Bill to pass first and to ensure that the LT (RSOM) Bill did 
not "override" our amendments to the TA re Stationary Vehicle Offences, these 
amendments were replicated in new s133A, LTA.  So we are now in the unexpected 
position of having different info requirements for liability transfers for stationary vehicle 
and moving vehicle offences.  I don't think this warrants the cost to Police and local 
authorities of having to reprint the reminder notice twice in a short period - once to set 
different info requirements for Stationary Vehicle Offences and the second time to 
standardise the info requirements again.

Subject: Amendment to land transport regulations 
Good morning, 
Please find attached a draft LEG paper in respect of proposed transport regulations, 
the – 
• Land Transport (Offences and Penalties) Amendment Regulations 2011
• Land Transport (Infringement and Reminder Notices) Amendment Regulations
2011
Current drafts of these proposed regulations are also attached. 
Withheld due to being out of scope of the request
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Land Transport (Infringement and Reminder Notices) Amendment Regulations 
2011 make editorial changes to infringement and reminder notices prescribed for 
transport offences to better align them with the current procedure for infringement 
offences, including enforcement in the Summary Proceedings Act. 
Withheld due to being out of scope of the request
 
 
 
 
Kind Regards,
